The last remaining team in Conacaf went away quietly from the 2022 FIFA World Cup, losing 3\u002D1 to the Netherlands.
“This is a tough one to swallow for us, the guys put everything they had into it,” said United States head coach Gregg Berhalter. “It’s such a good group of guys, such a close-knit group of guys and you just want more for them, and tonight we came up short.Article content
The United States got through to the next round out of Group B with draws with Wales and England, and a narrow 1-0 victory over Iran.Article content They have done enough to get through to this stage, but have not exactly inspired along the way. They are not the Netherlands of Johan Cruyff’s days, who revolutionized the game with its Total Football, and players interchanging positions on the fly. This Netherlands team seems more methodical, does enough to get by and is unbeaten in 15 games.
Just over a minute later, United States right back Sergino Dest made an inspiring run at the heart of the Netherlands aging defence. Dest did everything right, but was unable to pull the trigger in the box with his left foot and the ball was eventually cleared. Van Gaal said. “Despite that we were in the lead — which what I thought were fantastic goals — however, in the first half we were dispossess so often when it was not necessary and that’s simply not acceptable at a World Cup.”Article content
